Eggplant Torta
This recipe was served up to me in my Realplans meal plan and to be honest I really was skeptical. I think it was the eggs? Thank goodness that I made this because it is now hands down one of my favorite meals. I used my favorite organic tomato sauce from Spiral Foods because they make a fantastic sauce and it makes my life easier. You could use another sauce or make your own but make sure it is Whole30 compliant (no sugar or additives). This makes a great lunch if you whip it up the night before. Serve along with a handful of rocket with vinaigrette.
